In one embodiment, such CD137 x TA Binding Molecules will be bispecific molecules, especially bispecific tetravalent diabodies. Alternatively, such CD137 x TA Binding molecules will be bispecific trivalent binding molecules. The CD137 x TA Binding Molecules of the invention are capable of simultaneous binding to CD137, and a TA. The invention is directed to pharmaceutical compositions comprising the CD137 x TA Binding Molecules, methods of using the same to treat cancer and other disease and conditions. The invention also provides novel CD137-binding molecules, and HER2/neu-binding molecules, as well as derivatives thereof and uses thereof.
